Lateral play (slop) in flanged bearing in the Z axis motor plate

X-Carve Assembly

With the cap screws all the way tightened, there is quite a bit of slop in the flanged bearing mounted in the Z axis motor plate. Is this ok?

I ended up shimming mine with a small piece of thin aluminum. The main bearing bore was oversized by about a millimiter. Also the flange recess could stand to be a bit shallower by say .25 to .5 mm so the bearing is held tight against the bottom of the recess.

I ended up putting THIN layer of shoe goo around the outside of the bearing. I’ve done that before with other bearing mounts. You just have to be careful. But it worked here too. I was surprised by the loose fit.
